New book documents search for heritage fruit
When Stan Myers bought the family's six-acre property above Denton Slough in Hope some 25 years ago, the former dairy farm came with about 18 very old apple trees. Myers took it as a labor of love to nurse the old and neglected trees to health – and they now repay the family with a couple dozen gallons of pressed apple juice each year.
